INTRODUCTION


The Aerostar flight training courses are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of Title 14,

code of Federal Regulations ( 14 CFR )  Part 141, Appendix I.  The course is designed to allow a Private or Commercial pilot holding a multi-engine land class rating to transition to the Aerostar. It is also intended to allow for transition to any model of Aerostar.  The performance criteria specified in the syllabus are based on F.A.R. Part 61 “ Commercial Pilot Standards”.  The syllabus contains integrated ground and flight training courses that are taught concurrently. 


**Pacific Aerostar meets all Flight School “Security Awareness Training” in accordance with the Transportation Security Administration 49 CFR for Flight Training Centers


GROUND TRAINING


The ground training objective is to provide the student with the necessary aeronautical knowledge  to successfully operate and determine the performance limitations of the Aerostar.  The ground school will be integrated into the flight syllabus on a daily basis.  This is the most effective method for course utilization, as the academic knowledge is taught immediately prior to it’s application during flight training.



FLIGHT TRAINING


The flight training objective is two fold.  First the student will learn all the maneuvers and procedures associated with safe multi-engine, high performance aircraft flying.  Second, to increase the proficiency, knowledge and confidence of each Aerostar pilot so that overall safety

will be improved in the operation of the aircraft.


Although the flight syllabus designates a minimum flight time for completion, Pacific Aerostar’s

philosophy is to “Train to Proficiency” standards.


All flight training is conducted in the actual aircraft under three phases.  Each phase provides an important segment of training :


PHASE I


Phase I provides a foundation for transition or recurrent training into the Aerostar, using Standard Operating Procedures  ( SOP ) , followed by the introduction of more advanced

“Additional” and “Irregular “ flight procedures.


PHASE II


Phase II builds upon the skill and knowledge of Phase I and the introduction of engine-out operations with “Irregular” and “Emergency” procedures specific to the Aerostar.


PHASE III


Phase III provides the skill and knowledge to operate the Aerostar in the IFR environment.  The student will perform all IFR “Normal” and “Emergency” procedures including instrument approaches with one and two engines operating.  Additionally a real time LOFT ( Line Oriented Flight Training ) , based on flight scenarios and profiles will be conducted.
